It’s straight out of a horror movie: hundreds of pregnant horses hooked up to blood-draining machines, some so weak they collapse and die. But we can stop this right now.

The industrial horse torture is driven by European pharmaceutical companies who use the blood to speed up factory farming! The EU has said it’s considering action, but so far nothing has happened.

No more horses need to die! Ministers are meeting in days -- let’s light a fire under the EU with a massive petition demanding they ban the abusive pregnant horse blood trade. Add your name now, then share this with everyone -- let's make our call massive!
